The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Hospital Administration in Mozambique
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
This article aims to understand the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Hospital Administration and Management in Mozambique (HAM). To this end, the methodology employed was a literature review of articles on AI-related topics, conducted through searches in Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, the website of the Mozambican Ministry of Health, and the libraries of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Zambeze University and the Faculty of Medicine at Eduardo Mondlane University. The main results concluded that Mozambican HAM does not apply AI tools, particularly those related to increasing productivity in sectors such as Predictive Maintenance, Bed Management, and Staffing Planning, due to high equipment installation and maintenance costs, precarious transportation, connectivity problems, and staff shortages.
Another important conclusion was that, in the literature review process on the subject, little material was found, as little is published, especially in the Mozambican context. Therefore, aware that this article does not cover the full scope of AGH, other aspects such as the application of AI in transport (ambulances), medication management, hospital logistics, competency-based accounting, and others, may constitute topics of interest
